They lost a lot of customers on the "you won't own the game on your disc" debacle, too. The idea that the publisher would get a portion of every resale of a game, even on disc, really pissed people off. The publisher was even able to deny the resale!
Who thought that was going to please the end user? It's so customer-hostile that I couldn't believe they said it out loud, let alone at a major conference.

- coldpie 4y agoThis one is really fascinating. Now, ten years later, physical sales are trending towards nil, and all digital sales are permanent with no resale at all. They had their eye on the future, possibly even a better future than the one we ended up with, but they were too early with it. And the messaging was absolutely godawful, as you say.
